Transportation & Infrastructure Renewal

Within Nova Scotia's transportation infrastructure, services are administered through four district offices, located in Sydney, Truro, Bridgewater, and Bedford, and the head office located in the Johnston Building in Halifax.The Department is responsible for maintaining 4,100 bridges and approximately 23,000 km of provincial roads, including 1,199 km of the National Highway System – the highway system that connects Nova Scotia to the global community. We operate and maintain approximately 1,300 pieces of highway maintenance equipment, four cable ferries, and three self-propelled ferries.We play a variety of roles in the development of a safe transportation system, supporting the economic prosperity of Nova Scotia. We also coordinate the province's position on air, marine, rail and road transportation issues involving the federal government.
